Just a Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 5: The original owner's diary

The first diary was written five years ago. According to Hogwarts, only 11-year-old wizards were admitted, and the schooling system was seven years.

Sherlock should have been 15 years old and in fifth grade.

And what made him decide to start writing a diary was because he had just experienced a failed relationship?

Well, judging from the tone of the original owner in the diary, he is indeed a sullen man.

Sherlock continued to turn back.

The dates of the diary are not consecutive. About every three days, he will write an article to complain about some trivial things he encountered in school today and his admiration for Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts.

That's right, it can be seen from the original owner's diary that he has an obvious adoration for Dumbledore.

Even in his words, he clearly stated that his future goal was to become a wizard like Dumbledore.

His academic performance also seems to be very good, because Sherlock saw a diary about him getting the first grade report card, which led to many girls from the same college coming to him for advice, which made him feel very tired.

After experiencing a doomed love affair, the original owner seems to have become an indifferent straight man, not only not interested in facing the opposite sex, but also defined as harassment by their keenness to surround him.

Half of the entire diary records the days when the original owner studied and lived at Hogwarts.

And from his experiences in his student days, Sherlock has basically been able to figure out his character.

He was obviously a rather withdrawn person outside. In his diary about studying and living at Hogwarts, Sherlock did not see even a description of his friends.

In other words, during the seven years he was in school at Hogwarts, he didn't get along with a single friend.

As for the girlfriend mentioned in the first diary, he just regarded her as a tool person.

The original owner's biggest hobby is reading books.

Naturally, he was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts.

Apart from going out to eat, sleep, and attend classes, he seems to allocate all of his time to reading and studying.

Every day is either in the library or on the way to the library.

Reading and studying seem to be everything in his life, and becoming a wizard like Dumbledore is his lifelong pursuit.

As a result, a distinct character image was gradually sketched out in Sherlock's mind.

The original master was tall and handsome, but he always had a face that seemed like everyone owed him 258,000 to 80,000 yuan.

She speaks sternly, does not compliment and polite, is not good at dealing with people, and never hides her likes and dislikes.

To put it simply, his temper is like a stone in a quarry, stinky and hard.

Later, Sherlock found a magical photo posted on the back of the last diary of Hogwarts school life.

Above is a group photo of the same class of graduates from his academy.

That handsome face is easy to find in a group of people.

He was standing in the corner, all the other students were grinning, only he had a straight face and frowned, looking very aloof, as if he was disgusting that taking graduation photos was a waste of his time.

Staring at the photo, Sherlock looked in the mirror and tried to imitate the expression on the original owner's face.

To be honest it's not difficult.

He just had to keep thinking that as long as he exposed himself for a while, he might be caught by Professor McGonagall to Dumbledore to "brainwash" him, and he would naturally show a bitter and vengeful expression.

Because with the exception of the first part, the rest of the Harry Potter stories were learned by Sherlock from the short film commentary.

Therefore, his own impression of Dumbledore all came from the old and sinister image instilled by those movie commentators.

There is even a commentary to add private goods, saying that in fact, all the experiences of Harry Potter when he was in school at Hogwarts were planned by Dumbledore secretly.

This made Sherlock always have some inexplicable defense and resistance to Dumbledore.

As long as he thought that if he was discovered, he might be taken to Dumbledore, and he would naturally pull his face down and put on a stinky face.

As for the tone, it's even simpler. You may still need to learn to say good things, but you should be able to speak directly to others. Everyone should be able to do it.

The expression and language management had a direction to prepare, but Sherlock did not stop to continue studying the diary.

Of course, this is not due to his voyeuristic desire.

It is because after the original owner graduated from Hogwarts, it has only been three years, and the experience in the last three years is undoubtedly more important.

Sure enough, the first diary entry after leaving Hogwarts gave Sherlock a big "surprise".

"June 28, 1989."

"What a frustrating day, Professor Dumbledore rejected my job application, he said I just graduated from Hogwarts, the understanding of defensive magic is still only theoretical, I still need more practice ."

"Although it's disappointing, the professor also recognized my talent very much, and said that in the future, when considering the candidate of the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, he will definitely give priority to me. It is really heartwarming to be recognized by Professor Dumbledore. Pleasant thing."

"Well, although I don't think that the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts that Hogwarts has hired in the past two years has much better practical ability than me, Professor Dumbledore's words can't be wrong."

"So, what kind of job should I look for next?"

"Well... if it's to gain practical experience, maybe becoming an Auror is a very good choice."

Sherlock stared at this diary for a long time. He never imagined that the original owner had applied to Dumbledore for a position as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts when he just graduated.

According to the information channel of the film's commentary, this position was cursed by Voldemort, the ultimate villain in the Harry Potter stories.

Any professor who works in this position often has an accident or even death due to various reasons within less than a year.

Fortunately, the original owner's job search experience was unsuccessful, and Dumbledore rejected his request.

Otherwise, he might not have waited for the current Sherlock to pass through, and he would have had an accident.

After being rejected by Dumbledore, the original owner indeed went to the Auror headquarters under the British Ministry of Magic for an interview just as he said.

With the excellent results obtained from the N.E.W.T. Ultimate Wizarding Exam, and the accumulation of seven consecutive years of hard work, he easily passed the Auror recruitment requirements.

It's just that after joining the job, he was not assigned to the Auror's combat department, but because of his solid theoretical knowledge, he became a civilian in the Auror Command.

This made the original owner very dissatisfied. After several unsuccessful applications to be transferred to the combat department, he stayed in the Ministry of Magic for just over a year and two months before resigning and returning home.

Since then, he has been working as an otaku at home, concentrating on researching defense magic.

Until three months ago, he went to Hogwarts again, except for the annual application for the professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

He also applied to join the Order of the Phoenix, a resistance organization founded by Dumbledore when the power of the mysterious man swept the entire magical world.

Sherlock had some impressions of the name of this organization. He vaguely remembered that one of the seven Harry Potter series was called this name.

This time, Dumbledore did not give a clear answer to his application, neither agreeing nor rejecting it.

This made the original owner extremely disappointed. He felt that he had not actually received Dumbledore's real approval, and he had been depressed for more than a month.

A week ago, he gave up on himself and started to try an unfinished, high-risk magic spell experiment, and the diary was interrupted here.

But Sherlock can guess what happened next.

It must have been an accident in his experiment, UU reading www.uukanshu. com caused himself to fly out from the second floor, and finally fell to his head when he landed on the ground, which allowed Sherlock to cross over to him.

After reading the entire diary, Sherlock had a deeper impression on the original owner.

This guy is like a problem child who hasn't grown up yet. Except for his good academic performance, he has problems all over his body.

It's no wonder that Dumbledore rejected his application for a professorship. He even had to consider joining his own small society.

Sherlock leaned back on the chair, pinching his chin and thinking quietly.

Therefore, it is very likely that Professor McGonagall's special visit this time has something to do with the original owner's application to Dumbledore to join the Order of the Phoenix two months ago.

The letter said that things had taken a turn for the better, that is to say, Dumbledore most likely agreed to his application for membership.

If that's the case, then Sherlock can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It's okay to join a small club or something. The original owner was originally a withdrawn person. As long as he was cautious after joining, he tried to deal with the people in it as little as possible, and seized the time to familiarize himself with magic.

As long as he doesn't go to Hogwarts to be a professor of labor and capital, everything else is easy to say.

Thinking of this, Sherlock suddenly felt relaxed.

Besides, he wouldn't be able to become a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts this year.

It is now July, and the professor for the next semester is probably already selected.

According to his vague memory, the unlucky guy who became a defense professor this year seemed to be a star wizard, and the original owner, a lonely otaku who didn't even have friends, obviously couldn't even touch the clothes of star wizards.
